How did you get it to work? No one has addressed this issue in this forum and it's been repeated quite a few times. I've encountered the same issue and can't seem to get around it!

Just Update the firmware! it also depends on what kind of R4 you have if you have the original R4 and not R4 Ultra make sure you're running a 2g sd card and not higher. R4 Ultra takes 4g to 8g i think.

Ok, I've gone through all these steps, I even had to go get an old version of the Action Replay because the new one wouldn't load/connect (No firewall, I bareback the internet, baby). Finally when everything seemed to be falling into place...
I turned my DS on... "The hardware is not compatible" WUT
I have an M3Simply. I updated to the R4 firmware linked here, and that was the error message I got - my M3simply apparently doesn't like the R4 firmware. Except what's funny (or dumb), the latest firmware says "m3 simply patched from R4".
I put the M3simply 1.18 back on and it at least turns on, BUT the cheats do not work. I already had a CHEATS.DAT on there (no idea where that came from, was just already there, would assume my currently working cheats are on there, I just wanted MORE) but it doesn't want to load usrcheat.dat apparently.
I don't know what to do anymore. I'm so disenchanted at the moment. Please, someone enlighten me. My boyfriend's cycloDS works perfectly with very little work and digging around on the internet for questionable sources. I'm jealous.

Yay double-post. Sorry! I looked for an "edit" option.
I've been working on this for about three hours. I give up. I wanted to let everyone know, who is currently in my boat right now, another way - just go find a cheat.dat that is for your card.
http://cheats.gbatemp.net/ is the best/current/most-updated one I could find, but the cheats vary from source to source so if the cheats don't exist on this list for your game, try another cheat.dat elsewhere. I took 12_08_09_CHEAT.DAT.zip from that list, I am not sure what the rest are, I suppose it must differ from card/firmware and you should be familiar with your own. If not, just download them all and mix-n-match until you find the one that works.
I know, this is not a way to get your own Action Replay or custom codes on here, I'm sorry, but I'm tired and frustrated and figure other people might be too, so this is perhaps an option in the meantime.
Happy cheating!

Hi hopefully you can help.I have a DS Lite and am using N5 card (ie the clone of r4) with N5i software using moonshell 2.10 on a 4gb sd card and have just got the ACTION REPLAY DS EZ. The AR works as it should till l put the N5 card in, it just restarts and loads the N5 card as normal. Have tried to follow your guide but there is some differecne as either it has not made a code xml or am not doing something. Please help if you can
P.S has anyone tried a 16gb sd card as l wish to have everything on the same card instead of having to change sd card all the time

But that's the issue, I did update the firmware to the 1.18 R4 and followed all the rules that were set forth, even played around with things when all other options didn't work. But still, it keeps freezing. I have a 2 gb SD card and an R4 I'm pretty sure is legit. So I don't know where to go from here, am I not using the right firmware?

I have a problem with my Saga 2 Hirou Densetu. I found some codes and they were working perfectly fine until i decided to try to open a SAV and DAT files with notepad, i found a way to undo the DAT files, but the SAV files are still under notepad as the default program to open it with. And i think its affecting my ability to use them. Because when i try to use the codes in the cheat window of the game, it wont save. Itll flash a saving window and close, and then i can never use the cheats. Its really annoying! Can someone help me?
Its better to have something you want, and not need it, than need it, and not have it.

Oh the SAV files are perfectly loadable, its just the cheat codes wont save, thats my problem
Another update, i got rid of the notepad association with my SAV files, but my cheats still wont work, they wont save at all, and its starting to piss me off. I dont know why it wont work. I set it back to the way i remembered it, before i was stupid and opened things up with notepad, but they wont work anymore! PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Hi, to everyone having troubles, remember this guide is only verified for the original R4 (for the DS Lite), so everyone with different cards, I unfortunately cannot help as I do not own that card or the hardware you're running it on. This guide was also created when I had XP Pro, so I cannot verify for Vista or 7.

I only give instructions for the R4 but this works on the M3 simply as well, you just need to get the newest firmware, 1.18.
This is verified by myself, and it works great :)
Ok first, you need the latest R4 firmware, v 1.18 (as of writing):
http://www.r4ds.com/download-en.htm or
http://www.r4official.com/download/r4_v1.18_kernel.html
Next you want the Code Manager from Datel:
US version:
http://us.codejunkies.com/nds_actionreplay/SetupUS1_05.exe
Euro version:
http://us.codejunkies.com/nds_actionreplay/SetupEU1_05.exe
Finally you want the R4 Cheat code editor:
http://www.r4ds.com/download-en.htm
or if the site is down, then get it here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/32954884/Cheat_code_editor.rar
Now it gets easy :-D
Update you MicroSD card with the new firmware
Install the Code Manager.
1. Under Subscriptions right click Codejunkies US Games and select copy if you want all or just do this for games you want.
2. Under My Codelists right click and select paste.
3. Let it import the games into your codelist.
4. Once it has completed go this folder:
C:\Program Files\Datel\Action Replay Code Manager\local_codelists
Find the XML, it should say something along the lines of customcodelist.xml
Open the Code Editor and go to file and press Import XML file.
Import the one you just made and then go to file and Save As cheat database. Save it as usrcheat.dat.
Now open the card again and navigate to the system folder. Copy the new usrcheat.dat file to that folder and you are done :)
If you have any question, post here and I will help you ;)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I can not find the local_codelists folder... What shall I do

i have a r4,then i try to update it,i update it with this way:i delete the "_SYSTEM_",and "_MOONSHL_"folder,then i changed it with the 1.18 version.then i follow the guide ,copy the three subscriptions to the custom codelist,but in the "nintendo ds" part of action replay code manager,its written"waiting for ds".then i open the cheat code editor v1.00,then i click"import the XML file",and i chooses three xml file,they're codejunkies us games,codejunkies eu games,and ds-par jp games.i save it and named it "usrcheat.dat".oh yeah,when i import the ds-par jp games,its written"the xml file format error!".and when i see the usrcheat.dat,the file icon is video,i copy it and i paste in "_system_" folder in my micro sd card.and when i turned on the ds,its ok,but when loading,its not finish and only show loading.what must i do?or don't delete the first two folder?
